Among the rooms within your house, the living room is perhaps the most common area, where you can throw in an area rug. Your choice rug does not only cover the floor, it also makes the space seem brighter and wider. The colors and patterns of the rug are capable of providing different effects within your house. You can make your living room look more formal or more cheerful depending on the design or tones of the area rugs. If you want to make this part of your house seem bigger, refrain from buying rugs that have huge patterns. On the other hand, do not put in a rug with small patterns to your huge living room. This will only make the area seem cluttered. If the lighting of this area is dark, make it bright and sunny with colorful rug colors like yellow and orange.

Inlaid rugs. Here’s where your imagination can take over. Anything your mind can conjure, a good carpet designer can manifest. Doodle on a piece of paper until you come up with at least a semblance of what you want, and your designer can take it from there. Geometric shapes, florals, birds, stars and stripes, fans, your name or initials¾there are no rules. Pricing here again depends on the quality of the carpet and the complexity of the design.
